Junto
Sept 25 - 26
A Retreat for Thoughtful Business Leaders. The Junto was originally formed by Ben Franklin and his friends in 1727 "to exchange knowledge of business affairs" with the goal of mutual improvement. The spirit of the original Junto is revived in the form of this retreat, with the belief that running a business in a "not just for profit" way is rewarding both financially and emotionally. By coming together, as Franklin and his friends did, we share valuable knowledge and reflections that can improve ourselves, our businesses, and our communities. junto.org

She'll be your first point of contact for technical details and scheduling load-in and check-out days. Additionally Annie will be tracking our inventory and keeping our equipment in good working order, so that when you want to use the projector, clear com or new dimmer rack that they're ready to go. Say hi to her the next time you're passing through, she's often at the Welcome Desk in the evenings.
